Contador Benjamin Romeo

The 2008 Gran Reserva spent 42 months aging in used barrels in the cellars underneath the church in San Vicente. A blend of 92% Tempranillo, 1% Viura and 7% Garnacha, it has a pure mulberry, dark plum and blood orange-scented bouquet with fine delineation. The palate is very well-balanced on the entry, with fine tannins and a lovely mulberry, fish scale-tinged finish. It is a glorious Gran Reserva that should age well over the next decade and beyond. Drink 2013-2025.
